A LETTER FROM "SCRIBBLER,
In Which He Scribbles Both
and Poetry.
Prose
Vthexa, Oct. 25, 1893.
Editors Press: I have conclud
ed to quit working, as there is
nothing in it, but a living, and I
know of several fellows that never
do a lick of work; yet they seem to
have a better time and more mon
ey than I do; so I have decided to
rent a room, stay in town, and se
if I can get on to the scheme of
having plenty and doing nothing.
I would like to engage a room south
of Main street, in the vicinity of
that five-acre wood pile not that
I have any designs on the wood,
but because I was reared in a wood
en country, and it would seem more
home-like, more comfortable, you
know, and well I dont believe
Hollis would miss just a few sticks,
anyway. ' '., 1
The other evening a fellow on a
"jag" was boasting that he was the
"best little man that ever struck
Athena, but no better." That re
minds me of what a friend of mine
once said to me. He lives here in
town now and the first letter of his
name is Bill." This happened sev
eral years ago, before Bill had quit
drinking water. One day I met
him in town, and he called me
aside and said very confidentially:
"Say, if there is anything in the
world that I despise, its one thing
more than another."
Why do the city authorities' al
low the stable men and others to
dump manure, filth and garbage of
all kinds, on Main street, within
two or three blocks of the business
part of the city. It would have
been impossible-to have dumped it
in a place, where a greater number
of the inhabitants could stay at
home and enjoy the benefits there
from. Viewed from the . car win
dow, or on the street, numberless
heaps mav be seen smoking like
miniature volcanoes and poisoning
the breath of the gentle Chinook,
usually so healthful and fragrant.

The railroad commissioners pass

of the commission, were standing
on the rear platform, dispatching
business at the rate of thirty miles
an hour, except while crossing
bridges which was at about a
twenty-five mile rate, l here are
some people cranks enough to think
the inspectors know very little
more about the condition of the
road after passing over it than they
did before; but their opinion don't
amount to much, as they belong to
the comrnon herd; the common,
ordinary, scrubby tax-payers. For
my part J don t see how we ever
got along without railroad commis-
loners. They certainly fall a "long

draw a handsome salary they feel
under obligations to do business

Oregon Needs Population.
What rapid immigration could
do for Oregon was illustrated today
by Mr. F. J. Atwood, of Omaha,
says the Telegram.
"If you could only start such an
influx of people to Oregon as came
to Nebraska between 1883 and 1888
you would soon have 1,400,000
people here instead of 400,000. I
well remember when Nebraska did
not have over 250,000 inhabitants,
and we thought that we were doing
-well." Suddenly a wave of immi
gration seemed to roll in upon us,
and our barren prairies became
subdivided into farms, villiages
were started at every crossroad,
6mall towns became cities, and
railroads were built in all directions
This kept up until we reached and
passed the million limit, and had
not drouths and hard times came
on in another wave, we would now
boast of over 2.000,000 population.
"My point is thw: Oregon is
way ahead of Nebraska in resour
ces, variety of products and diver
sity of climate. Where Nebraska
supports one man in creditable
shape, Oregon can support two.
The valley of your big river, water
ed by abundant rains, and Eastern
Oregon made to blossom by irri
gation has a capacity of holding
without crowding, 5,000,000 peo
ple. All you require is to get the
myriads of farmers in the Central
West and East to appreciate the
opportunity here, and they will
come. But one thing more: There
should be ready an abundance of
reliable information, regulated . by
state statutes, telling them where
they can get good homes and make
an honest living. 1 speak trankly
when I say that more injury has
been done by men coming back to
Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, who
were sadly disappointed, and inhos
pitably received, than by any other
influence. . Their stories are gladly
. prinffld in the home papers, and
fammebouiISi move conclude to
stay where they are."

FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Palous Frmerf Drgnlz to Protect
Their Interests.
On Friday and Saturday last
about 1000 farmers met at Pull
man, Wash., and in mass-meeting
apserabled, talked over their troub
les, brought about by the financial
stringency and the low price of
wheat, made doubly burdensome by
the heavy rains which came while
harvest was in fall blast. The
following resolutions were adopted
after much earnest discussion.
Whereas, The producers of the
northwest, owing to the action of
trusts and combines, which are the
illegitimate offspring of our govern
ment, are unable to realize more
than cost of production of all pro
ducts; and
Whereas, through the action of all
the elements all the crop were so
badly damaged that full one-half
the crops are unfit for market,
thereby rendering the producer un
able to realize sufficiently to meet
his obligations: and
, Whereas, The merchants and
men of all trades and professions
are dependent directly or indirecty
upon the products of the farm, as
well as the farmer, to meet their
obligationns: and 1
.-Whereas, Through the hoarding
and contracting of the currency
and withdrawal of credit the pres
ent condition has been brought
about, and it will be necessary to
have an extension of time for all
debtors for - at least 12 months;
tirciciuro uo it
Resolved, . That we 'the people,
in mass-meeting assembled, declare
that for creditors to enforce pay
ment of obligations in the present
stress would bring disaster and
ruin upon a large majority of the
people, and prove a calamity to
our country; and be it further (
Resolved, That we condemn the
foreclosing of the mortgages and
the issuing of judgements against
the already overburdened people,
as being unjust, morally and equi
tably. And further bo it
Resolved, That we, the people
in mass-meeting assembled, do ask
our creditors to extend the time of
credit for at least 12 months. And
be it further
Resolve, That we declare our in
tention to sustain all debtors with
moral influence' until i Buch- tima

an attempt by two convicts to es
cape. They were John Keiley,
from Spokane, and S. Wright, from
beattle, they had been employed in

the guards, commenced to tunnel
beneath the wall. The bottom of
the wall is about two feet beneath
the ground, and the soil is very
light, thus affording very easy
means of escape. While in the act
